6:06 am
the sea so as to help with the internationalization that really with. all american legislators say the bill is designed to punish mainland china specifically as protesters want sean. but while the end goal may very well be punishing beijing in pursuit of a geo political supremacy washington my just overall look at the collateral damage . this news in the last 2 explosions that have gone to stand one rocked the capital kabul now the u.s. embassy reportedly killing at least 3 in short before the suicide bomber struck a campaign rally for the afghan president in the northern power one province reportedly killing 24 there the president ok we hear the number of casualties is yet to be confirmed afghan based on the sultan phasey report. i spoke to the one of the spokesperson officer of god he said that he's well and he's unhurt but the
6:07 am
expectations were high because the stronghold of let's say that you biggest us bases in that province and it's very close to the capital kabul and the expectations were like the security must be very tight but still there was a guy that's in a suicide bomber used and that's in a tent and kills many people the lookup or eventually governor office this folks person said that they confirmed the incident and also they're adding that the suicide bomber was riding a motorbike and detonated his explosives at the 1st checkpoint to where that rally was taking place but they rally actually it continues however we have a very. high figure of casualty on the other hand there was another explosion in the capital kabul ministry of interior confirmed the explosion that took place nearby the u.s. embassy also there is

6:09 am
he really cares about them we bring social workers in into homes and parents to help them deal with how to raise their children there's not the dough want to help there don't one day don't know quite what to do play the rodeo break sure the television the screws me make sure you have the record player on a night of the phone make sure the kids here words a kid come in from a very poor school are ever very poor background who here 4000000 words few were spoken was a time they get their team the record player now he seems a couple decades behind on modern technology but it's also a tad bit condescending don't you think now some are calling it pellant shaming biden is the libro racist why downs better star calling this out because black women are watching if joe biden it's in forced out of the ronnie now i give up 1st he looks into the camera and laugh so the man should of racial inequality in us schools and we could racists then he describes black whom light and parent team you
6:10 am
knew way that is stunningly ignorant and insulting droop biden's aunt so the own how to address the lick a sea of slavery was appalling and to scorn a farming now this isn't the 1st time the joe is flubbed an answer when it comes to a racial issue he made some remarks one barack obama was selected as the democratic party candidate in 2008 that he probably meant to sound like a compliment i mean you quote the 1st mainstream african-american whose articulate and bright and clean and a nice looking guy joe biden's comments point to an increasing phenomenon in us society being referred to as a liberal racism joe biden is not burning across are arguing that non whites are inferior but he does seem to have a touch of a white savior complex becomes across as condescending to those he thinks he's hell a study refers to it as a competence downshift and joe biden is not the only one what liberals may
6:11 am
unwittingly draw negative stereotypes demean themselves down in a largely well meaning folksy but ultimately patronizing attempt to connect with the outgroup democratic party is pretty put on our list economy you can look you see order policies from the welfare state it is put into place to live thinks that blacks generally are as smart as whites and really would point to is the democrats projecting a lot of their own insecurities upon everyone knows do say everyone is races everyone sees everyone as all those days and if they're when it's really them they feel that way and it's hard to say that it's the other side actually feels that way for decades the democratic party has been promising to help minorities in the united states but do party leaders actually see them as equal members of society well joe biden's recent comments have got plenty of people asking that question. r.t. new york. big did then israel the country decided the fate of incumbent prime minister benjamin netanyahu in unprecedented repeat parliamentary elections he's locked in
6:12 am
a tight contest with his rival benny gantz earlier spoke to a correspondent there in jerusalem. well known political parties are expected to be part of the next israeli parliament all the israeli knesset and the competition here really boils down to 2 men the incumbent prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his right wing likud party and his former defense chief benny guns and his small same to lift blue and white party not as the same scenario 6 months ago when we had the previous elections which netanyahu won but despite winning them he was unable to form a majority $61.00 mandates out of $128.00 parliament seats many suspect that the same scenario could unfold and so regardless of whether it's guns or whether it's an attorney are who we might have a son arya and it's increasingly likely that neither is able to form a majority government or so give me some more ideas that have. been doing to boost his support base of like well like any politician that's fighting for his political survival netanyahu has been making
6:13 am
a lot of promises the most recent of which is that he said should he be reelected he will and makes west bank settlements and the dog in valley and for anyone who thought that the peace process between israelis and palestinians wasn't already did this certainly was the last nail in the coffin he has also started negotiating a u. s. israel defense treaty i had a call with prime minister netanyahu to discuss the possibility of moving forward with a mutual defense treaty between the united states and israel they would further the tremendous alliance between our 2 countries thank you my dear friend president trump the jewish state has never had a greater friend in the white house the american president donald trump has been playing an enormous role in the israeli elections back in april just before the previous elections he made the bold statement that the americans recognize the israeli hold over the golan heights and this is despite the fact that a contravenes international law and has remained a contentious issue ever since the heights were taken over by israel from syria
6:14 am
back in 1967 in a moment i will sign a presidential proclamation recognizing. israel's sovereign right over the golan heights netanyahu has been using trump in his election campaign you just need to drive down any street in this country and you see both leaders beaming from election posters on any of the main streets in israel a political analyst earns on average around $180000.00 salary a year and yet the support that netanyahu gets from trump which is so much bigger is essentially priceless should this country hate to a 30 lection which is what many here suspect and fear the question is just what else is trump going to promise in the 10 yahoo some of the refresh but growth here the israeli parliament was dissolved in april a dispute of the growing influence of the ultra orthodox jewish minority the country's former defense and foreign minister. who refused to join knows coalition of a deliberate has not spoken a potent of the military draft privileges handed out to the ultra orthodox
6:15 am
community they can avoid compulsory army service if it rolled on religious studies for instance. mr lieberman accuses the ultra religious minority of seeking to impose jewish religious law on the secular majority they've already managed to impose bombs on public transport in the suburbs straight marriage laws and gender segregation people in tel aviv how that was affecting their daily lives them. the ultra orthodox establishment have a very strong hold of the israeli politics in israeli
6:16 am
government i think it affects our lives. that the orthodox make their own rules. they want to make themselves it different from the other people i don't think they're affected too much except from probably things like. public transportation in israel. in saturday i don't have buses instead on saturdays i want to go to the beach and there are laws that they try to pass not. according to my opinions but we should accept them as well as much as we accept our the laws from other communities i truly believe in diversity but still i think they should live their lives and we should we are supposed to live our lives. over artefactual issues if they should choosing to it's coming up the u.k. government has accused the social engineering after it revealed this been secretly funding a muslim teen website there's been some fallout from that we'll tell you about it
6:17 am
in the back. the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. who . thinks. we dare to ask. where were you. 2009. that's a question we'll be asking kids and grandkids for years to come down was the 1st
6:18 am
episode of the cons a report yes 10 years ago because the report began broadcasting all over the world under the country billions of people. again source in u.k. now were lifestyle websites for muslim teens has become an unlikely flashpoint it's been a feel that the home office has been covertly funding it as part of a counter extremism strategy a move that seemed fury of employees readers and the wider muslim community the show did was dusty's got the story if you're a young muslim woman living in the u.k. then this is the website for you at least that's what the creators want you to believe. this is a global media platform for young muslim ars in the east london and beyond to share
6:19 am
and creates inspiring and empowering content with positivity at its core inspiring but now it's been exposed after it was revealed that the site is being funded covertly by the u.k. home office in an attempt to tackle radicalization and now 2 employees have resigned over the controversial funding one of them says working the betrayed her believes. in my neighbors here so that through this opportunity our super assistance i really could help to make real change pushing forward a different narrative from muslim women themselves sure when though we are empowered and multi-faceted are realized now there with the home office funding the project at the root there was no way i could do this regardless of the content i was pushing out well the project was set up in 2015 in direct response to 3 british school girls including bacon running away to syria and where did they flee from london the very same place you persistence is targeting now it's made up of 9 staff members from jayco media and they secured their funding from something called build
6:20 am
a stronger britain together which is an arm of the controversial terrorism. which has been accused of targeting and spying on within communities in the u.k. now while many see that as a fundamental infringement of rights the home office has always defended its efficiency while super says has like notion apologize for their wrongdoing they insist that they have full control over their content. we want to emphasize that even though b. s.b.c. may funders they do not have any creative control over super systems content where we acknowledge we were wrong and we apologize for it is not more clearly stating the source of funding on the super sisters' instagram blog not just our website we have always been clear and transparent to the interview stage on how we often did including at sub hours interview at least that's what they say but the bias male a former employee says that there were no female muslims on the creative or editorial team plus she was only recently made aware of the controversial funding
6:21 am
well it's left some people very angry and hurt by the revelations these revelations are shocking former contributors have claimed that in one point there were no muslim women in thought by jingo where you know they did toral for super sisters if i was a teenage muslim in today's environment i would be utterly confused and feel like i was constantly being spied upon by my own government. not setup by muslims not run by muslims you're trying to define young muslim women's identity thank you but muslim women can speak for themselves super says this is just the latest platform to be embroiled in a transparency route just a few weeks ago a social media network team called this is woke a page claiming to engage in critical thinking m.s.m. traditions was found to be receiving funding from you guessed it the home office or the problem is 1st of all the home office seems to the only thing is seized in the muslim community is extremism in many ways this is really. engine hearing of
6:22 am
trying to say that there is something fundamentally wrong with muslims in the mainstream and we need to socially engineer to sort of changed so they will not be problematic living in our society it really is sort of extension of seeing the whole muslims as possible terrorist and so therefore we should have these projects to change them into something more acceptable so perhaps the young muslim women in the u.k. right now be slightly more hopeful the new home secretary pretty patel who herself is from minority background might now be slightly more sisterly shouted stashed e r t u k london as a footnote i can tell you ask the home office to comment on the story as well about to let you know what had to say. u.s. ambassador to serbia karl scott has called on the serbian people to look at the
6:23 am
broader perspective and put the nato bombings back in 1909 behind them so the 1st time his voice start line of thought either. we don't ask the serbs to forget the recent history but we are asking you to look at the bigger picture. 2 decades ago nato launched the ferocious bombing operation against the federal republic of yugoslavia during the kosovo conflict the alliance leadership at the time claimed it was carried out to prevent the genocide of the albanian population in kosovo the operation lasted for a fiery 78 days we asked people in serbia what they thought about the ambassador's comments now. the future of the bombing campaign was not justified in any way it was a terrible crime and government should sue for compensation. not all but the un security council never approved the nato bombing can only be considered an act of
6:24 am
aggression it is impossible for serbia and america to be on good terms because the us government will always be serbia is a little version of russia that america just built for the americans everything they do is justified vietnam hiroshima and nagasaki and native american genocide and so on and they did not just bone loss they took part of our territory they feel you cannot justify what they did how can you defend the bombing of many nations whatever and therefore did the. serbian collated a filmmaker bore a small gursky says the onus lot of bombings by then still a fake serbians to this day. they don't use depleted uranium in bombing serbia and we are feeling the effects to date there is a parliamentary commission that has released its findings in serbia claiming that the uranium that was used in the bombing is still affecting the cancer rate in serbia that is skyrocketing since 1990 what they did in 1990. 8 and i
6:25 am
think the search and forget that the specially because u.s. policy toward serbia has not changed from 1958 yes they're not dropping bombs but the whole reason for the needle bombing was to illegally take over a part of serbia that is the province of costa vote to this date the ice states recognizes the independence of kosovo they are pushing for serbia to recognize its independence so if the united states really wanted to get over the past and everything troubles us from them then they will be the ones to change its policy. for a ghost story from russia store the lot of people russia very proud about the world's 1st floating nuclear power station has reached its permanent base in chukotka over in russia's far east after completing a 5000 kilometer journey it's there to do some good to supply existed to 50000 people and businesses in a remote area of prey say replacing a land based reactor has been wound on the reactor.
